More Insights
Built in 1935 (91 years old).
Condition: Built in 1935, this property requires substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features outdated white appliances, basic cabinets, laminate countertops, and worn linoleum flooring. Both bathrooms are extremely dated with old fixtures, vanities, and tilework (e.g., bright blue floor tiles, embossed metal panels). Flooring throughout the house is either heavily worn hardwood or old, stained carpet. The overall condition indicates a need for a full modernization of all major interior components and systems, aligning with the 'poor' category's requirement for substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
